From the reviews

Stayed here in the river yurt for six days for a yoga and mindfulness retreat and absolutely loved it! I was a bit sad when it was over. The owner Beth is friendly, kind and attentive. The yurts are very comfortable and well cared for, as is the entire property.

★★★★★ — Mary, Aug 2021

Beth’s place is beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. This place is right by the waters with magnificent views of the mountains. It is a very peaceful place and the yurts were comfortable! Superb hospitality from Beth too 🙏

★★★★★ — Charmaine, Jul 2022

Yurts are comfortable, great beds. Location can’t be beat. Prices very reasonable. Beth the owner was very kind and helpful, and her dog Lucy was super cute. Highly recommend this place.

Getting married at Chilkat Inlet Retreat

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
